Gumball laid in bed with sleep nowhere in sight. He stole a glance at his alarm clock which read 2:30.
Great.
Gumball got up and went to the bathroom to take a piss. He felt a lot better after that. Maybe now he could possibly sleep. He washed his hands and crept back to his room.
The twenty three year old had grown up a lot. He had stayed in Elmore as a higher up of a construction company. It was good pay and since he had done his time, the work was not too hard either. Gumball lived in a small house even though his paycheck would allow him to live more luxuriously. However, his humble upbringing helped him feel content with his small abode. Darwin was out on his own as a swimmer at a prestigious college. Anais was working at NASA, which surprised no one.
Gumball crawled into his bed and shut his eyes. As soon as he did that it felt as though the gods were tormenting him as the sun beat down on his face. He groaned and saw that his alarm clock now read 7:25. Great, a lot earlier than a Saturday called for. Gumball sat up and stretched. He knew there was no use going back to sleep now so it was time to get up.
After a quick shower, he got dressed in black jeans and white long-sleeves underneath a black short sleeve shirt. It was simple but it was his go to especially in the cool month of October. He grabbed his wallet, keys, and phone, and went out to his car. Pondering what the day entailed, he remembered that at his local bar it was open mic night.
"Fuck yes," he said in almost ecstasy. It was a way for him to relieve stress. Gumball dabbled in singing and even picked up acoustic guitar which he used to perform with there. 'The Blue Well' was a local hotspot for people his age anyways.
Gumball smiled at the happy thoughts and made his way to the grocery store. He plugged in his earbuds and pressed 'shuffle' and made his way inside.
The blue cat grabbed a handbasket and made his way through the store. Grabbing some bare necessities, deodorant, body wash, laundry detergent, and some fruit, he made his way to the beer and wine aisle. He made his way to the white wines and went to grab a bottle when a white hand reached at the same time.
"Oh sorry, go ahead," he said before turning. When he saw her he mentally face palmed. Of fucking course,
Carrie Krueger, the apple of his eye for years, something he screwed up royally long ago in highschool. She looked at him. "Why thank you, gummypuss." A smirk ran across her face. Gumball grew cross.
Carrie had certainly gotten taller, from the tip of her tail to the top of her head she stood at five foot eleven inches, just a couple shorter than Gumball. Of course her tail was always curved as she floated so she seemed shorter. Her chest had grown considerably and her curves were always a pleasant sight for Gumball's eyes. She had a little weight on her but that did not bother him at all. He always found her perfect in his eyes and mentally kicked himself for how he behaved. Her attire was a black band tee for a band he did not recognize and a black beanie, her long white hair still over her right eye. Fuck she looked so hot to him.
"Carrie," he said, trying to sound as neutral as he could.
"Is that all?" She said putting a hand on her hip, as if she expected more.
Gumball stood scrambling for words in his brain. He knew what he wanted to say but couldn't.
She grabbed the wine bottle with haste. "A loss for words? That's a first for you." She placed it in her cart and began to float away.
"Wait!" Gumball called out, almost a little too loud. "Come by 'The Blue Well' tonight, please." His eyes were showing his soul that pleaded she would. She sighed. "It better be worth it Gumball or so help me."
Gumball smiled, "oh trust me, it will". With that, she turned and made her way out of sight. Gumball sighed in relief. Finally, he would get his chance. With that, he decided to skip the wine and made his way to check out.
Carrie sat in her car with her groceries. Fuck, of course Gumball was there. "I need to get out of this shit hole of a town. Too small, especially to see him. She turned on the radio in her car and made her way to her house. She was a real estate agent surprising everyone but to her it felt right. She was damn good at it too, but she lived small. Her house had an occult vibe certainly but there wasn't excessive furniture or anything. It was simple like her. She made her way in and set her groceries inside the cabinets and fridge and laid out on the couch.
"Fuck me, I should go there. Maybe he'll man up then and admit he fucked up," she smiled to herself and hoped that he did. She thought of him everyday and would be lying if she said she didn't miss him. She still loved him, and by the way he behaved at the store he may have felt the same way. She found it odd that they managed to not run into each other since graduating high school but oh well. She didn't write the story.
Carrie felt herself drift off into sleep and decided a nap was in order. October days like today were her favorite but she felt drained.
Gumball was anxious. No, anxious was an understatement. He was an absolute wreck. He sat on the couch and put his head in his hands. "Relax Gumball. It's only the girl you've loved since you were fifteen and weren't able to move on from and still love dearly. No pressure, no pressure at all. Just do what you normally do and it will go okay. Apologize to her and beg for forgiveness."
Right. No pressure.
Gumball laid in his bed and decided a nap would help him relax. Besides, he would need the energy to help him get through the evening he was about to have. He hoped the ghost would take him back and hopefully had any sort of feeling for him.
Gumball was hit with the familiar smell of alcohol, sweat, and sex. The bar was a dive bar, but it felt like home to him. He had his guitar with him and made his way to the bar and ordered a rum and coke. He quickly drank it and got a shot of tequila. He needed liquid courage.
The bartender, a paperclip with eyeballs named Chip, looked at him. "You good Gumball?"
Gumball nodded and tapped the counter, indicating another shot. "Yep, just gotta give it my all tonight for someone." Chip's eyes widened and nodded in understanding. It wasn't long now. Gumball realized he didn't give Carrie a time. He hoped that she would show up sooner rather than later.
As if on cue, right when the host began the usual speech before every event, there she was. The most beautiful girl in the world. She saw him and her eyes seemed to light up and the corners of her mouth tried to tug a smile but she managed to stay neutral. She took a seat at a back table but never kept her eyes off him.
"Fuck me," he muttered to himself.
"...and our first guest is the talented Gumball Watterson!" A small round of applause went as he went up. He was sweating but took a deep breath.
"Tonight, I am doing a song that is deeply personal to me. Several years ago I screwed up with a girl who meant everything to me and still does. This is to help convey a message I've been wanting to say for a long time," Gumball said nervously. He picked up his guitar and began to play. (AN: I can't put song lyrics in here, so to know what song he is playing it is called "Standard Lines" by Dashboard Confessional, which served as the inspiration for this). The simple acoustic but deep lyrics hit everyone.
To Carrie, it sounded amazing. The sweetest thing in the world to her ears. She began to smile and stared at him. She could feel the emotion pouring from him and letting the song say what he so stubbornly couldn't.
The song ended and he got a lot of applause with a few people standing and whistling.
"Well what an electrifying performance!" The porcupine host said. "Next up, we have Leroy Smith!" Everyone clapped for the oncomer but Carrie got up and made her way to Gumball. He was zipping up his bag as she got to him. He was off to the side of the stage.
"Gumball, that was so good," she said with a smile.
"Thank you, it means a lot," he said as he slung it over his shoulder. Gumball stood up straight and looked at her.
"Listen Carrie, I'm sorry for how I behaved in the past. It was gross and toxic and childish. I'm truly sorry for what I said and did." Gumball paused and sighed. Carrie held her tears in as she heard him say everything she wanted to hear. She knew it came deep within. "I miss you terribly. If it isn't obvious that song was for you. You see, I still love-" He couldn't even finish his sentence as she kissed him deeply. Years of frustration and angst seemed to have been let go. Almost all of it.
"I still love you too, you moron," she said with a smile as she kissed him again. He kissed her back with a smile. "Let's get out of here before we get kicked out huh?" He grabbed her hand and they walked to his car.
They barely had their clothes on as they made it into his house. Clothes were quickly taken off as they made their way to his bedroom. The two fell onto the bed naked and already fondling each other. Gumball briefly pulled away from her as she looked at him with lust and pleading in her eyes. "Are you sure?" He said, wanting to make sure she was okay.
"Fuck me you idiot," she said as she pulled him ontop of her. He smirked as he felt her wet pussy on him. His cock was hard now and she wrapped her tail around his back to get him in. Gumball slid himself in as the two moaned at the feeling. Gumball began to thrust in and out slowly at first until Carrie spoke up. "Gumball please pick up the pace and fuck me!" She said almost desperately.
Gumball nodded and picked up his pace. His dick filled her wet pussy just like she wanted. Carrie in ecstasy as he kissed and pinched her nipples as he fucked her. She pulled harder with her tail to get him deeper. She could feel her clit being stimulated every time he pumped into her. She began to nibble on his neck as he began to pick up the pace.
Carrie could feel her walls tighten. The sex, although no foreplay which usually Carrie had expectged, was just what she wanted. What she needed. The same went for Gumball.
"C-Carrie." Gumball managed to get out as he could feel his orgasm coming. Carrie used her tail to help him get there fast. "I know, me too," she said with a smile as she pulled him in to kiss him. Gumball picked up the pace as he kept his lips on hers. Soon the two both reached their climax, Gumball shooting his load deep into Carrie's pussy as she felt her own orgasm clamp onto his cock, milking as much as possible.
Gumball collapsed next to her, both panting and staring into each other's eyes.
"I missed you Carrie, I really did," he said as he brushed her hair aside. She smiled and turned her body to face him. "I missed you too Gumball."
The two shared an embrace. "I'm not letting you go this time," he said softly. She looked up, "Wait, did you think we were getting back together?" She snickered and gave him a gentle kiss. "I'm just fucking with you, you better not let me go. Just be sure to eat me out next time, okay?"
The two laughed lightly and felt sleep coming onto them.
"I love you Gumball."
"I love you Carrie."
AN: Hi. It's my first time writing a lemon. Next one will hopefully be better. Will be updating my chapter stories before Autumn comes. Enjoy this little one shot that's cheesy and cliche.
